Once again we’ve entered the season of The Vagina Monologues. If you just want to watch, there are four Hartford venues where you can catch a performance:

Charter Oak Cultural Center: February 4th and 5th at 7:30pm. Proceeds benefit Interval House, My Sister’s Place, and TransAdvocacy. $15 general admission; $10 for seniors, Charter Oak members, and Let’s Go! members; $5 students.

Trinity College: February 17th at 7pm in the Washington Room.  Proceeds to benefit Interval House and Survivors of Violence in Haiti. $5 for students and low-income; $10 non-student.

University of Hartford: February 25th and 26th in Auerbach Auditorium. Proceeds will benefit Connecticut Sexual Assault Crisis Services. Speaking parts will be available for University of Hartford students, staff, and faculty. More information will be provided as it is made available.

Capital Community College: March 11, 2011. Speaking parts will be available first to students and then to the community. More details on this to come as information is made available.

If you’re someone who likes to join in, don’t worry about having acting skills. There are no strict auditions, as one of the guidelines for performing this play is that anyone who wants to be involved can be in some manner. The time has come and gone for planning meetings for the performance at the Charter Oak Cultural Center, but community members and students alike will be able to participate in the one at Capital Community College (students get first dibs).
